Chapter 2317 - 2309: The Holy Lake Opens

In the eyes of the Emperor Yu Saint, the Saint Heir of Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, Huang Xiaolong, seemed to lack understanding of respect and inferiority.

However, since Huang Xiaolong was brought by Di Huai, he couldn’t reprimand him either.

When Huang Xiaolong interjected, Di Huai didn’t mind. He explained to Huang Xiaolong, "That’s right, this Dou Rui is one of the most talented evils of the Evil Demon Palace in billions of years. He is also a Saint Heir, but his Enlightenment Saint Form, Holy Veins, and Holy Body are ranked in the teens."

"Ranked in the teens for Enlightenment Saint Form, Holy Veins, and Holy Body!" Huang Xiaolong was greatly surprised.

Feng Tianyu, Zhang Wenyue, and even the Emperor Yu Holy Sect’s masters were shocked.

The Emperor Yu Holy Sect’s masters, although they knew their Sect Leader was injured by someone named Dou Rui from the Evil Demon Palace, had only just learned that this Dou Rui possessed a top-ranking Enlightenment Saint Form, Holy Veins, and Holy Body.

"Indeed, ranked in the teens for Enlightenment Saint Form, Holy Veins, and Holy Body!" Di Huai sighed, "This Dou Rui’s talent is rare even in the Holy World. A hundred thousand years ago, he hadn’t even broken through to the Saint Realm. Yet now, not only has he made the breakthrough, but his power is astonishing."

The Emperor Yu Saint is a master of the Saint Second Realm, and not an ordinary one at that, yet he was still injured by Dou Rui, indicating the latter’s power.

The Emperor Yu Saint also sighed, "In a few more millennia, Dou Rui might even break through to the Saint Second Realm."

Then, Di Huai asked the Emperor Yu Saint about the details and reasons for their encounter.

Although the Evil Demon Palace causes chaos across the Holy World, Dou Rui, as a Saint Realm powerhouse and a veteran of the Evil Demon Palace Headquarters, typically wouldn’t act or leave the headquarters lightly.

The Emperor Yu Saint didn’t hide anything and spoke truthfully, "A few days ago, I received news that a Golden Turtle Insect appeared in the Purple Cloud Sea Domain, so I went in search of it. When I just discovered this Golden Turtle Insect, Dou Rui suddenly appeared and seized it from me." He stopped there.

The final outcome, although the Emperor Yu Saint didn’t explicitly state it, the crowd could deduce that the Emperor Yu Saint was injured and the Golden Turtle Insect was taken by Dou Rui of the Evil Demon Palace.

"Golden Turtle Insect!" Huang Xiaolong and Di Huai were shocked.

The Golden Turtle Insect is one of the Eighth Grade Heaven and Earth Spiritual Medicine, and it is a main ingredient for many Eighth Grade Heavenly Earth Spirit Pills.

No wonder Dou Rui would leave the Evil Demon Palace Headquarters to seize the Golden Turtle Insect.

The Emperor Yu Saint glanced at Huang Xiaolong, surprised that he recognized the Golden Turtle Insect.

"After I escaped back to the Yu Emperor Sacred Land injured, while healing these days, Evil Demon Palace masters frequently infiltrate and massacre my Yu Emperor Sacred Land’s masters. In recent years, dozens of Supreme Sects of the Yu Emperor Sacred Land have been destroyed by these Evil Demon Palace masters," the Emperor Yu Saint said, "But now that Brother Di Huai is here, I can rest assured."

The crowd talked as they made their way to the Main Hall of the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect.

Entering the Great Hall and seating themselves, Di Huai said to the Emperor Yu, "To be honest, Emperor Yu, I merely passed by this time; we’re heading to the Holy Heaven Headquarters."

"You’re going to the Holy Heaven Headquarters?" The Emperor Yu Saint was surprised, greatly astounded, "Brother Di Huai, why are you going to the Holy Heaven Headquarters?"

The masters of the Emperor Yu Holy Sect were also surprised.

Di Huai pointed to Huang Xiaolong, "I’m taking this youngster Huang with me to enroll him in the Holy Heaven."

Instantly, everyone’s eyes fell on Huang Xiaolong.

"Oh, does that mean this Huang Xiaolong Saint Heir from your Saint Sect possesses an Enlightenment Saint Form, Holy Veins, and Holy Body ranked in the top hundred?" Emperor Yu asked.

Di Huai shook his head with a smile, "That’s not the case."

Emperor Yu laughed in response, "Brother Di Huai, you’re aware that even those with the top hundred Enlightenment Saint Form, Holy Veins, and Holy Body might not necessarily be able to join the Holy Heaven. Bringing your Saint Sect’s Saint Heir there might end in failure, and the registration fee is quite high."

His implication was to advise Di Huai against such a futile endeavor.

Di Huai didn’t say more, he chuckled, "Even so, it’s worth a try."

Emperor Yu laughed, "It seems Brother Di Huai has quite the confidence in your Saint Heir! Forgive my curiosity, but what is your Saint Sect’s foremost Saint Heir’s Enlightenment Saint Form? Could it be some special dual or multi-attribute Enlightenment Saint Form?"

Some Saint Heirs have Enlightenment Saint Forms ranked over a hundred, but because their forms have dual or multi-attributes, they are ultimately accepted into the Holy Heaven.

Upon hearing Emperor Yu’s question, Di Huai glanced at Huang Xiaolong. Although he knew Huang Xiaolong possessed an evolving Enlightenment Saint Form, he didn’t know what stage it had evolved to.

"Replying to Senior Emperor Yu, my Enlightenment Saint Form is not a special dual attribute one. As for ranking, it’s only in the nine hundred range." Huang Xiaolong stood up and spoke truthfully.

When Huang Xiaolong’s voice came out, the Great Hall quieted, and all the masters of the Emperor Yu Holy Sect stared at him in astonishment, even the Emperor Yu was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, someone couldn’t help but laugh with a "pfft."

The crowd looked over, and it was several Saint Heirs of the Emperor Yu Holy Sect who were laughing.

"Nine, nine hundred range?" Emperor Yu’s expression turned peculiar as he looked at Di Huai, "Is this the talent of the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect’s foremost Saint Heir?"

If it were an ordinary Saint Heir with a nine hundred ranked Enlightenment Saint Form, it wouldn’t be remarkable, but for a foremost Saint Heir of a Saint Sect to have such talent is rather useless!

However, Di Huai’s face was full of shock, even horror as he stared at Huang Xiaolong, because he had learned from Li Wen and others that when Huang Xiaolong first joined the Zhuoyuan Saint Sect, his Enlightenment Saint Form was ranked over four thousand. How had it evolved into under one thousand in such a short time?!

This this!

It seems to have barely been twenty years?!

Doesn’t that mean?!

Di Huai’s throat felt dry and itchy.

It was then that he realized he had vastly underestimated Huang Xiaolong’s talent!

"Brother Di Huai!" Seeing Di Huai dazed, Emperor Yu called out several times before Di Huai snapped back to reality.

"Brother Emperor Yu, when does your Emperor Yu Holy Sect’s Holy Lake open next?" Awoken, Di Huai asked, "I would like to borrow your Holy Lake."

Di Huai’s visit to the Yu Emperor Sacred Land wasn’t just to see his old friend Emperor Yu; another important reason was to let Huang Xiaolong enter the Emperor Yu Holy Sect’s Holy Lake.

This was Di Huai’s primary purpose.

The Holy Lake within the Emperor Yu Holy Sect has many wondrous benefits, and the better one’s talent, the more they gain from cultivating within it. If Huang Xiaolong could cultivate there, the benefits would be considerable.

Although Huang Xiaolong had already broken through the Supreme Realm, his power was still too low, and Di Huai hoped that he could break through to the Middle-stage Supreme before reaching the Holy Heaven.

Di Huai calculated that the Emperor Yu Holy Sect’s Holy Lake opens once every million years, and its next opening was soon.

"Holy Lake?" Emperor Yu glanced at Huang Xiaolong with some difficulty and said to Di Huai, "Brother Di Huai, although the Holy Lake opens next in three days, as you know, only five people can enter at a time!"
